Keyshia Cole’s Glamorous Shot Sparks Fan Comparisons to Lisa Left Eye Lopes

Singer Keyshia Cole switched up her look once again, and it had fans debating on which celebrity she looks like the most.

The 37-year-old mother is known for often changing up her appearance and can do no wrong in fans’ eyes. The “I Changed My Mind” singer took to Instagram on Sunday and shared a photo of herself posing backstage during her Las Vegas concert. In the picture, Cole was sporting a blond updo of a high bun with a slightly blunt cut bang and a glam face of makeup.

Cole thanked all of her fans for coming out to see her Vegas performance. She added, “! Omg!!! #Vegas, I had such a GREAT TIME.”

However, fans were blown away by Cole’s stunning photo, and folks compared her appearance to late rapper Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes and singer Mary J. Blige.

“You look like Left Eye in this pic💕,” one fan wrote.

Another added, “Yes she does.”

One person commented, “Looking like a young Mary 💕💕.”

“She look like Mary.”

“MJB.”

Others people were just blown away by Cole’s beauty.

“@keyshiacole always beautiful because that honesty and truth shines through! Blessings to you and your career💪🏽🙏🏽❤🎶.”

“You are so gorgeous, ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING.”

The Grammy-nominated artist is currently on R. Kelly’s “Double Up” tour until the end of the year. Cole performed in Las Vegas on Nov. 18 and in Jackson, Mississippi, on Nov. 11. The star reportedly experienced several technical difficulties during the Jackson show, but fans said the singer managed to still give a stellar performance.

After the Jackson show Cole wrote on Instagram, “Last night there were a lot of things that took place, that could’ve prevented me from going on stage. … but I knew what to do! … I had to FLIP THE BAD ENERGY,😊 into, GREAT, God loving, Love sanging energy.”

One fan commented, “You did a beautiful job 👏👏👏 I was there.I know it was kinda rough at first but you did great and you have a beautiful God given voice it was worth the wait 🙌.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
